Mr S Rigby v Royal Mail Group Ltd: 2401876/2022
JUDGMENT
[1]The claimant’s claims of unlawful deductions from wages on the 3rd and 10th of April 2020, on the 16th and 23rd of October 2020, and on the 27th of November 2020 were withdrawn by the claimant prior to the hearing and are therefore dismissed.[2]The claimant’s claim of unlawful deduction from wages on the 5th of February 2021 was presented out of time on the 14th of March 2022. The deduction did not form part of a series of deductions. It was reasonably practicable for the claimant to bring his claim in time. The claimant did not do so. The Tribunal therefore has no jurisdiction to hear the claimant’s claim and it is dismissed on this basis.[3]The claimant’s claim of unlawful deduction from wages on the 26th of November 2021 succeeds, and the respondent is ordered to pay the claimant the sum of £132.05. This figure has been calculated using gross monthly pay and the respondent is to deduct from that amount the required sum payable to HM Revenue and Customs for Income Tax and National Insurance.
